Abstract

Spoken language understanding (SLU) typically includes two subtasks: intent detection and slot filling. Currently, it has achieved great success in high-resource languages, but it still remains challenging in low-resource languages due to the scarcity of labeled training data. Hence, there is a growing interest in zero-shot cross-lingual SLU. Despite of the success of existing zero-shot cross-lingual SLU models, most of them neglect to achieve the mutual guidance between intent and slots. To address this issue, we propose an Intra-Inter Knowledge Distillation framework for zero-shot cross-lingual Spoken Language Understanding (I\(^2\)KD-SLU) to model the mutual guidance. Specifically, we not only apply intra-knowledge distillation between intent predictions or slot predictions of the same utterance in different languages, but also apply inter-knowledge distillation between intent predictions and slot predictions of the same utterance. Our experimental results demonstrate that our propo
